About the role
Project Manager — Major Construction Projects
Confidential Client | Calgary, Alberta
A growing Western Canadian construction organization is seeking an experienced Project Manager to lead the delivery of a major multi-storey project from early construction through completion. This is a Calgary-based office role with responsibility for one dedicated project and periodic travel to active sites.
The Opportunity
You will join a lean, well-supported project team delivering large concrete buildings in the seniors-care, retirement-living and institutional space. Typical projects range from approximately $85 million to $200 million and include complex building systems, structured parking, commercial kitchens, life-safety infrastructure and operationally intensive spaces.
The successful candidate will come from a general-contracting or construction-management background and will have broad exposure across the entire project lifecycle—not just one package or phase. The first project is entering excavation and site-clearing, with most tendering already complete, creating a strong onboarding point.
What You Will Do
Lead the full delivery of one assigned project, including cost, schedule, procurement, contracts, changes, quality and closeout. Partner closely with the Site Superintendent, Project Coordinator, Construction Manager and senior leadership. Manage subcontractor procurement, scope alignment, contract administration and performance. Maintain project budgets, forecasts, schedules and reporting using Procore and Microsoft Project. Lead consultant, trade and internal coordination meetings and drive timely decisions. Support commissioning, turnover and operational readiness for complex facilities. Build a collaborative, accountable and solutions-oriented project culture.
What You Bring
Progressive Project Manager experience with a general contractor or construction manager. Ideally, two completed full-cycle projects valued at $45 million to $50 million or more; an exceptional candidate with one strong full-cycle project may be considered. Experience with multi-storey construction—generally four storeys or more—and preferably concrete structures. Broad project exposure from tendering and procurement through construction, commissioning and closeout. Experience in healthcare, long-term care, retirement living, institutional, high-rise or large multi-family construction is preferred but not mandatory. Working knowledge of Procore and Microsoft Project. A practical, hands-on leadership style suited to a collaborative and lean organization.
Why Consider This Role? One Project Manager dedicated to one major project. Large, technically complex work with direct access to decision-makers. Supportive leadership and a team-based operating model. Long-term project pipeline in a growing market. Relocation assistance available for qualified candidates. Bonus potential and an employer RRSP program.
Compensation Transparency
The expected base salary range for this role is $130,000 to $145,000 annually, plus bonus potential of up to 15%. Final compensation will depend on experience, project history, technical capability, qualifications and overall fit. Relocation assistance may also be provided.
